Time Driven Activity‐Based Costing and Social Life Cycle Assessment: An Integrated Framework for Social Sustainability Accounting

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Integrating sustainability not only into corporate strategy and product design is essential to address pressing global challenges. This study proposes a framework that integrates social life cycle assessment (S‐LCA) into time‐driven activity‐based costing (TD‐ABC) to manage both social and economic issues by assessing social impacts across ...

Life cycle assessment and cost analysis evaluation of a helicopter's canopy production using different manufacturing processes

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
In the present work, Life Cycle analysis (LCA) and Life cycle costing (LCC) models were developed in order to quantify the environmental footprint and cost and thus compare different manufacturing scenarios associated with the production of aeronautical ...

Mycotoxin management in the cereal supply chain: Advanced detection, detoxification, and smart packaging strategies

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Mycotoxins remain a persistent threat to the safety and quality of cereal grains and other agricultural products, and their impact on human health continues to raise global concerns. In many situations, the practices traditionally used to control these toxins are no longer sufficiently effective. They can be costly, difficult to implement on a

Plant Trait‐ and Soil‐Mediated Responses of Herbaceous Aboveground Biomass Across Community Types Along a Degradation Gradient in the Desert Steppe

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grassland degradation profoundly alters the structure and function of desert steppe ecosystems. However, the responses of herbaceous aboveground biomass (Herb‐AGB) to degradation across different plant community types and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Unsaturated biobased polyesters from bicyclic α‐pinene‐based diols

Polymer International, EarlyView.
We present the synthesis of four biosourced unsaturated polyesters made from chiral terpene‐based diols and esters of renewable diacids. The resulting materials harbor a bicyclic pinene ring in their backbones which leads to enhanced thermal properties while still conferring susceptibility to enzyme hydrolysis for chains having a cis alkene.
